The complaint against Google was filed on Monday according
to the National Labor Relations Board website. While
the site does not list Damore's name alongside the complaint, it
lists the Paul Hastings LLP as the law firm representing
Google.

A Paul Hastings representative confirmed that the firm was
representing Google in the Damore case but declined to provide
further comment.

It's not clear exactly what the complaint says, as the actual
filing is not yet available online (and the NLRB site notes
that the document may need to be redacted). The only
specific information on the NLRB site about the nature of the
complaint is the general classification for the type of
allegation involved: "Coercive Statements (Threats,
Promises of Benefits, etc.)"

The filing is not a complete surprise: Damore
told Reuters and
The New York Times on Monday night that he planned to
file an NLRB complaint accusing Google's management of trying to
silence him. Damore was fired from Google on Monday for violating
the company's code of conduct.

Damore's 10-page manifesto, which went viral over the weekend and
stirred passions across the political spectrum, accused Google of
alienating conservatives at the company and attributed
Google's lack of gender diversity to biological differences
between men and women.

Damore did not respond to several emails requesting comment on
Tuesday. Google has declined to comment on the situation beyond
the
memo CEO Sundar Pichai sent employees Monday night, in which
he called some of Damore's statements "not OK."
